Holistic healing from the heart

Counselling & Workshops

Eating Disorder Recovery

Healing eating disorders and body image issues is a challenge that requires gentleness, compassion, a willingness to change, and a body-mind-spirit approach. Angela is happy to share her 15+ years experience in eating disorder prevention & treatment in both individual counselling & group workshops. We will focus on compassionate ways to heal from eating disorders and body image issues through mindfulness, trauma therapy, and stabilization to help you on your journey of finding peace with your body. We will explore how your history has affected your sense of connection with yourself and your ability to care for your body, and develop a holistic plan to make the changes you need to live a full, healthy, embodied life!

Counselling & Assessment for Children & Adolescents

I am committed to helping children understand their world and express themselves fully.

My new child-centered therapy space for children age 6-12, and adolescents 13-17, is ready! Sometimes it is difficult for children to talk with their parents about issues, and sometimes it is hard for parents to listen. Supported, creative therapy through art, puppetry, sand play, storytelling, and animal assisted therapy with an expert child therapist can help children to express themselves, resolve issues, and heal relationships. Psycho-educational and socio-emotional assessments can help to determine your child’s strengths and provide professional recommendations to help address challenging issues.

Is your child experiencing:

Body Image/Eating Disorders/Self Harm

Trauma

Emotional Issues (anxiety, separation anxiety, sadness, grief, anger)

Behavioural Issues (school avoidance, bullying)

Difficulties at school (academic, social)

Child/Parent Relationship

Divorce/Custody Issues/Parental Alienation

Children often struggle with developmental issues, as well as the challenges of divorce, custody, and step-parenting. I can work with the child and parents to come to a gentler understanding of the need to place the best interests of the child first, to avoid the dangers of parental alienation, and assist children & families adapt to new ways of being during important life transitions. Please inquire about acting as the voice of the child for custody issues.

I aspire to assist parents who are hurting in their own lives, and parents who are worried about their child developing an eating disorder, to create a healthy environment for their children.
